Every time I order from Amazon the delivery starts in CA almost the same day. Perhaps there's some legal entity funny-business going on to make all of its CA fulfillment not count as such, but what else would you call the place that ships me the package?
- btilly 15y agoAre you sure it starts in CA? I just looked through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon.com#Fulfillment_and_warehousing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon.com#Fulfillment_and_ware... and there is no California location listed. I live in California, and I've received lots of packages from Nevada.
- leot 15y agoJust went through my email logs of Amazon purchases. One thing I bought from Amazon looks like it started in "City of Commerce", but this was a few days after I purchased it -- perhaps they fulfilled elsewhere and flew it over to be picked up by FedEx in CA?
- btilly 15y agoAmazon offers store fronts for third party sellers. The most likely possibility is that that purchase is from such a seller, in which case fulfillment starts from their facilities, not Amazon's. If you are in California, then Amazon should have also collected sales tax on that purchase.
